2. Britney knows....

[jsr]

3. Never mind that goddamn piece of paper.

[A Simple Game]

5. Seems that description hasn't changed much, other than it is now thought as such by

a constitutional scholar.

[young_at_heart]

4. Don't forget....the rules were different under Bush

He got just about anything he wanted....so different than Obama!

[FiveGoodMen]

6. I don't know...

Seems like Obama gets just about anything Bush wanted, too.

[mikeysnot]

8. EEEEEhhhhnt

Inheriting and getting are two different things...

[cui bono]

21. Stopping and legalizing/expanding are as well. n/t

[Octafish]

13. His Poppy was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

It was Baby Whimp calling the shots.
All that gravitas.
jesus what garbage.

[Democracyinkind]

17. Exactly. That people still believe that he was anything but a figure-head astounds me. nt

[reddread]

18. when Jeb and GW denied Poppy was "the Pope of politics"

when I actually had never heard the claim, I knew it was true.

[cui bono]

22. I don't take it literally. Just means he was told what to do and as long as he said do it

it was done. No matter if it was legal or not.

[reddread]

23. quite so

which makes the early behavior of that administration so interesting.
and outrageous..

[pscot]

12. signing off on a policy

doesn't necessarily make you the decider. Waterboarding probably wasn't the Shrub's idea.

[hue]

14. Waterboarding was prob Pr!ck Cheney's idea!

[hue]

15. Exposure!

and, remember, complaining "disrespects Da Twoops"

[indepat]

19. W's way of *ucking over the Constitution to demonstrate it to be just another piece of paper? Or

let's piss on the Republic to make way for our brand of a right-wing fascist totalitarian theocracy.

[Enthusiast]

24. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch.....nt

[MarianJack]

25. But WAIT!!!

I thought that he was the EJAMAKASHIN perzeedint!
